Abstract
The present invention includes non-RGD, nine amino acid cyclic peptides that inhibit the function of the integrin receptor, .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3. These peptides display surprisingly potent antagonist activity despite the lack of the consensus binding sequence Arg-Gly-Asp, and present opportunities for selective targeting to the .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 receptor. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use are also disclosed. The therapeutic uses for the inventive peptides include treating diseases involving .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 receptors such as osteoporosis, restenosis, and angiogenic-based diseases, including cancer, arthritis, and diabetic retinopathy.
